Course Overview
Learn Django The Fast and Easy Way!
In this course you'll learn how to build simple websites with Django and Python!
Django overwhelms a lot of people, and it doesn't have to! If you understand just a few basic concepts, you'll see that Django is a breeze to use!
In this course I'll be developing on a Windows machine, but you should be able to follow along if you're on a Mac or Linux. I'll show you how to download and install Python and Django, and create a basic website.
We won't be doing ANY database work in this course. I feel like databases confuse a lot of newbies, so instead of getting bogged down in all of that, we're just going to skip it and focus on building basic static websites.
You'll be able to build simple personal websites, or simple business websites when you're finished with this course.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS COURSE?
You don't need any tools or special skills to take this course. I'll show you how to download and install everything you'll need for free (Django, Python, and the Sublime Text Editor).
Other than that, you'll just need a computer with Internet Access!
DO I NEED TO KNOW PYTHON TO TAKE THIS COURSE?
No! Django is built for Python. It's a web framework for Python. So it's a good idea to learn Python if you want to use Django. But you don't have to know Python to take this course. I'll walk you through everything you need to know.
Building websites with Django is a ton of fun, and learning has never been this easy.
I'll see you on the inside!

Great course but moved a little fast for a mainframe programmer trying to navigate between the various apps. Learned a lot!

Finished Almost 90% of the course so far its not bad and got to learn it very easily,quickly and precisely but can be little more elaborate when it comes to methods,statements,its uses etc... Most of the stuffs what he does is not explained at all

This covered the basics in easy-to-digest bites (bytes, if you're into puns) of information. Exactly what I was looking for to understand what in the heck django is and why I would want to use it without overwhelming me with advanced details I would need only if I wanted to dive deeper into this. Thanks John!
